A practical guide to Nonogram
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Nonogram. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
A focus for your next round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The steps to play
- Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
- Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
- Combine row and column deductions.
- Check puzzle verifies the finished grid.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Keep this in mind
Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
